IdIOT: Shock and Terror

Creatively bankrupt Nova Terra robs Lord Abbott

PROVIDENCE—It was the first party rally on Earth for Nova Terra, yet to Australians it sounded strangely familiar.

Buffeted on both sides by the Cyberman invasion and the SADS sneak-attack, Nova Terra needs to confront the postwar period with a strong face, and yesterday's Nazi-style rally was intended to restore public morale. Of course, one may ask why, given the doom and gloom that eclipsed the nation during the war, the cocksure Dictator Marshall didn't stage the event when the public needed reassurance the most. But aliens work in mysterious ways.

The Imperatrix's insultingly short speech—so short the several thousand attendees probably didn't even have sore legs—hit all the routine political rhetoric: postwar victory swagger, chest-thumping jingoism, self-congratulatory militarism, and an intimidatory on-site show of force.

It was the middle of the address that has caught Australia's attention. In her thanks to the standing army, Marshall quoted almost verbatim the same opening used by First Citizen Abbott in his own speech the day previous. For all her recent slander against our fine nation, despite going on to completely ignore the crucial aid supplied to Nova Terra during its most desperate hour, Ms. Marshall seems blissfully unaware that the country she is so eager to demonize is the very same country her uninspired speech-writers look to when seeking to assuage her populace.

Not that such duplicity should be surprising. After all, Nova Terra named its stunt fighter squadron after a rock band whose bassist is an AIDS denialist, and thereby, a denialist of the gay conspiracy. Is there a connection between the Nova Terran false-flag scandal and the Shorten Insurgency? As more facts emerge, grounds for suspicion grow greater every day.

No representative of the National Party was available for comment.

It remains to be seen whether the Nova Terran government will officially apologize for this blatant act of plagiarism.

Abbottsford Continues to Deny Involvement with SADS, Instigates Nova Terra
NEW PORT CITY—It was no surprise that Abbottsford continues to deny that they had a hand in aiding SADS. Now resorts to instigation.

This time around, Abbottsfordian has started it's new agenda of slander and libel against Nova Terra. Likely in an effort for Abbott to distance themselves from their involvement with SADS.

Connie stated in a press conference "I am not surprised that Abbott and his news monkeys decided to write a slanderous piece against myself and my administration. It's no surprise that Abbott decided to 'take a dump' onto one of the most greatest of celebrations I've hosted for Nova Terra". Connie then goes on record "I have not demonized Abbott and his country, I merely condemned them for their aid of SADS. Yet they continue to deny it and paint it as a flase-flag operation when both our Inquisitors found evidence of the contrary and SADS's open admitting to being aided by Abbott. When asked about Abbott's news media's criticism about staging the event during the war she's gone on record to state that the nation was at war and the risks of hosting the party rally was too great. I'm sure no sane nation would host a victory rally when the bombs are still dropping."

The Imperitrix also defended against the allegations that were dragged up by Abbott's news media "We would have helped Abbott in the Shorten Insurgency, but given him giving aid to SADS and his rhetoric, I'm not so inclined to help Abbott if he gets invaded by another foreign power.

In response to the outrage over the slander from Abbottsford, Nova Terrans gather around the Abbottsfordian Embassy in protest. "This is a [Expletive Deleted] outrage! Is this the [Expletive Deleted] thanks we get for helping Abbottsford during Operation Doolittle!? They turn around and toss our help into the mud! Just like what [Expletive Deleted] happened with The old Republic of Coruscant!" stated one of the protesters who goes by the name of Angry Grandpa. Protesters have set up an burning of the effigy of Abbott, with a paper mache sculpture of Abbott, being set ablaze in front of the Abbottsfordian Embassy.

Air Force Generals were especially livid when Abbott called their famed Nationalist Fighters (formerly known as Republic Fighters) on being named after a rockband. "Abbott need to get his head out of his butt. We named our fighters after the phenomena during the closing of the Second World War, not a rockband!" stated General Maxium.

The medical community were also outraged by Abbottsfordian accusation of AIDS denialism based on the assumption of the naming of the Nationalist Fighter Jet. "HIV is a serious disease. I am on record that the Nova Terran medical community and the Imperatrix are aware that HIV exists. Naturally, Abbott wants to demonize people that are against him and makes these ridiculous accusations and rhetoric just to justify himself" Dr. Gangly stated when asked about the issue.

Suprime Group Leader Vakim McConnell has stated "The idea that we've plagiarized Abbott's so called work is completely laughable! I'm quite appalled at the statement how were 'bankrupt on creativity', our speech writers 'uninspired'. Take a look at his 3003 speech, almost verbatim to FDR's pearl harbor speech! This article written by Abbottsfordian reporters aren't even good enough to wipe my own butt with. Abbott may be riding high right now, but let me inform you. He ain't pissing on me right now, he's pissing on the Eagle. I may have Abbottsfordian reporters escorted by heavilly armed guards from the Party's militia, but the moment he or she starts bad mouthing Nova Terra. There notepads are confiscated and are put on a one way plane back to where they came from. I can tell you this, their so called facts are nothing but lies and slander". When asked about the Abbottsfordian Reporting seeking for a comment, McConnell stated "Why should I interview with someone who's going to sully my name and Nova Terra's?".

"To answer...Abbott's question 'Is there a connection between the Nova Terran false-flag scandal and the Shorten Insurgency?', I can tell you that there is none. The Shorten Insurgency was of Abbott's own doing. I wouldn't describe the so-called false-flag incident a scandal eather. We have hard evidence of Abbottfordian war material and uniforms extracted by our Inquisition during the conflict with SADS. Yet, continues to deny involvement with SADS and continues on dragging Nova Terra's name in the mud" Dennis Crocker stated in a press confrance "the only grounds for suspicion only grows on our end towards him".

Major Kusanagi of Homeland Security has hold doubts that Abbott aided SADS and theorized that it was a false-flag operation designed to frame Abbotsford and create tension between the two states. Kusanagi believes EVIL was behind propping up and aiding SADS and rationalizes that EVIL took advantage of the Cyberwar to further weaken Nova Terra. Kusanagi has organized a full on investigation of Abbottfordian materials extracted from the battlefields during the Drug War. Though given the traffic of Abbottfordian news media, has gone ahead and expand PONA-SIPPA to block off and ban foreign media deemed critical of Nova Terra.

Political commentators have theorized that due to the events surrounding SADS, that it may start a new Pacific Cold War and an uneasy Pacific Coalition Alliance. It's yet to be seen whether the Abbottsfordian government will officially apologize for their blatant slander, liable, and support for SADS.

Abbottsfordian News Press, Heavily Restricted
NEW PORT CITY—After the slanderous libel written by reporters from the ABC. The Government has sought to seek tighter controls on foreign media reporters.

The Department of Propaganda has already placed in measures to ban the distribution of news media originating from Abbottsford. The department has decided to move forward in expanding it's censorship programs.

The new policies now in place that any Abbottsfordian news reporter, must be escorted by two armed members of the Nationalist Defense Corps and any reports that they've made to be screened by the Inquisition. Any form of slander and liable written by the Abbottsfordian reporters will be immediately confiscated and the reporter immediately deported.

The Secretary of Propaganda and the head of the Inquisition, Tym Nightshade has stated that if Abbottfordian news reporters continue to publish slander and libel against Nova Terra. That he foresees a total ban on any Abbottsfordian news reporters from entering the county.

Major Kusanagi of the Department of Homeland Security has decided to expand the measures of PONA-SIPPA to block off access and distribution of Abbottsfordian news media into Nova Terra's Telecommunications networks. Galaxy News Network has entirely stopped distributing media materials from ABC.

National Airlines Suspend Flights to Abbottsford
NEW PORT CITY INTERNATIONAL AIR & SPACE PORT—With the increcing tenstons between Nova Terra and Abbottsford. The CEO of National Airlines has deemed it necessary to suspend all remaining flights to and from Abbottsford.

CEO Rubis Cass made the decision to protest Abbott's recent slander against Nova Terra "Given Abbott's rhetoric and slander against our fine nation. it's only fitting that I suspend all flights to and from Abbottsford due to their hostility towards our government and people. From a business perspective, it would be difficult to conduct business with Abbottsford. It's granted that there would be higher costs if we continue having flights in Abbottsford and putting our routes operating to and from Abbottsford and within the nation into the red".

CEO Cass has stated that National Airlines would reopen routes in Abbottsford if and when relations improve, but given the SADS Question, it's likely Abbott is still going to continue snipping at our glorious leader. To compensate for the route closures, National Airlines have opened up air routes to and from Jerusalem and The Holy Neko Empire. Understanding the situation with the Suez Canal being blocked by Madagascar, CEO Cass has deployed cargo aircraft to routes in the Suez Canal region to facilitate continued trade in the region.

State Department Releases Nova Terra's Foreign Relations Chart
NEW PORT CITY—The Nova Terran State department has released a foreign relations chart to the public. Here are the summaries of each nations.

ie03R9C.png

The UKIP-Pirate Condomium: While Nova Terra was in open conflict against the UKIP along with the Mystery Country and Abbottsford. Relations have cooled down to a nominal relations. There was a period of time when there was a hightened suspicion of UKIP's presence off the eastern seaboard during the Cybermen War.

Abbottsford: Relations between Nova Terra and Abbottsford took a stark nosedive to a tense relationship. Starting with evidence of Abbottfordian war material being present on SADS's side during the Drug War, leading the Inquisition to believe that Abbott has been secretly aiding SADS against the Nova Terran. This has sparked a rivalry between the two nations, as each side takes snipes at each other over the SADS Question.

Jerusalem: With aid given during the Cybermen War as well as a period of rapprochement has improved relations between Jerusalem and Nova Terra. Even putting aside their old prejudices against Ponies. Relations would have reached to Exellent levels, the State Department has taken to account that not all of the ponies are keen to Nova Terra's rapprochement.

Goomy: The State Department has determined that Goomy is in an isolationist state with sporadic diplomatic channels. While there has not been any communications between the two states. The State Department deems that the relations are set to normal by default.

United States of Vietnam: Relations between the USV and Nova Terra are at normal levels. Though this entails to their administration looking down on civil governments, even though the Executive Branch of Nova Terra is headed by an individual with military connections. The State Department has also taken note of Vietnam and Abbottsford's deals between each other in the aftermath of the Shorten Insurgency.

Holy Neko Empire: Relations have improved significantly from their aid in the Drug War against SADS.

The Mystery Country: Nova Terra and the Mystery Country has a history of working togeater in conflicts. Starting with the Philippine War against Empress Shi, then aiding them in the UKIP-Mystery Conflict, as well as their aid during the Cybermen War. While the compensation disagreement is a road bump, It was quickly resolved when Nova Terra transfers Toronto to Mystery Country and some industrial supplies in good fortune. Recently the two have decided to endeavor on a massive engineering project that benifits both Nova Terra and Mystery; The Space Elevator.

Ayy Imaora: A relatively new kid on the block with connections to space. One of the first diplomatic actions Nova Terra did was a shipment of food supplies to Ayy.

The DeadPhilippines: A relatively new kid on the block within the remnants of the Phillipines. No official diplomatic diolouge has occurred at the time of this article. By default, would get a Normal relation status.

PSR: A relatively new kid on the block within the remnants of Madagascar. No official diplomatic diolouge has occurred at the time of this article. By default, would get a Normal relation status.

EVIL: The relations with this state, or rather NGO, is complex. While on the outside, there's normal relations between Nova Terra and EVIL that aren't low enough to warrant a tense level. Within the government; such as Homeland Security, the Inquisition, and the National Defense Corps; they regard EVIL with suspicion as being one of the culprits of propping up SADS. Some within Homeland Security, believe that EVIL intentionally framed Abbottsford while aiding SADS to drive a wedge between Nova Terra and Abbotsford.

SADS:AE: There's no explanation for the tense rating. Aside from being a thorn in Nova Terra's side during the Cybermen War and demanding one of it's territories.

Highwaymen: While initially there was normal relations, they were dropped to tense after they've aided SADS in their exodus and committed theft of Nova Terran war machines. Nova Terra has condemned the Highwaymen for aiding a belligerent of Nova Terra.

The Psych Nation and the Kingdom of the Caucasus were not included in the chart due to a lack of suitable representative icon for the respective nations (eg. A flag or a seal). However, the State Department have ranked the relations with those nations as being Normal, with an extra watch on the Caucasus Kingdom.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
 
A hive of scum and villainy, that's what the capital of the Highawaymen was. Well, it probably is, if one would believe Nova Terran propaganda, which was occasionally dropped over South Africa. The residents admired the charity of the Nova Terrans, thanking them for dropping free toilet paper whilst wondering why there's muscle girls on them. Some with more...exotic proclivities found it as an excellent bonus to the already excellent soft and malleable paper, even resulting in a petition to ask for more positives.

Other than the free toilet paper, nothing too much seemed to happen in the Highwaymen's lands. The main reason for that was the incredible amount of drugs pouring out of the SADSE factories. It appeased the people, showing them that man, what a wonderful world! Just look at those trees! They're all blue! And you think "Man, what a wonderful world!". Then you pass out. But then you get up. (Usually.). Jet (as the people living there call it; the actual name is...hey is that a butterfly?!) is mysteriously working drug, which makes everything just go so much faster! It's also why the newly-built factories were spewing out...borrowed (or, as the pamphlets state, "stolen". If anyone did read them. Which they din't.) Nova Terran vehicles at an astounding rate. Probably unrelated to the taskmasters and foremen running on Psycho. Advancements were, apparently made while in the wilderness by the SADSE, as one of them encountered an elephant. And as far as the official story is, he "found the good stuff". Thousands of elephants were courted into the labs of SADSE, but unlike other barbaric nations, instead of collecting the ivory, they gathered something else. Foul-smelling, as far as the handlers can tell.

All was quiet. People stared at the walls as they moved in vibrant colours and talked about the metaphysics of cooking cheese, while others were committing brutal murders of local animals via the use of hair-clippers. Very bloody, as well.

However, something interesting, perhaps insane, and most likely, depraved and disrespectful was occurring in the other laboratories, the ones of the...'government' (some international observers really "like" scare "quotes") owns. In there, complicated experiments were done. There was A Plan. A Plan For Global Domination Of Football Via Heavy Metal Solos, or APFDOFHMS (But usually just called EDDIE. The chief researcher always giggles when he calls it like that.).

But, first, they needed to acquire a metal band. One specific one. Iron Maiden. You'd think that a country that is more or less all Wild West tropes combined would rather prefer something country, but truth is that most Highwaymen were actually really big metalheads that were sporting leather outfits because they couldn't find Eddie T-Shirts. And so, Iron Maiden was attracted to tour within the lands of the Highwaymen, of course, allowing only assorted, non-drug addict public (which, to be fair, was sort of hard to find..but fortunately, it seems that Bruce's voice is so good that it can cure even Jet addiction. Go figure.). Luckily for the amusingly evil plot that the Highwaymen were planning, like all bands, inevitably, they fell out with their label, and, after offering them some money, exciting venues right during stadium matches, and most importantly, a WWI fighter plane that somehow found its way into the Johannesburg residence of the previous tribal despot, they decided to agree.

Then, they had to find five Fallout cosplayers. That required a bit more...tinkering. And an overseas travel. Into the lands of Nova Terra, where they stumbled into one, completely accidentally. He even had a gun. But they needed four of them; so they had to find 3 more. Interestingly, even more were there, holding really nice replicas. Some of them even fired! After sneaking them out of the country, while drugged, they had to...convince them to work for their cause. A transcript of the...interrogation is present here:


SOLDIER ONE(VAULT DWELLER): You pigs! The Imperiatrix will destroy you!
SOLDIER TWO(CHOSEN ONE): You won't get away with this!
SOLDIER THREE(LONE WANDERER): I'm not even a soldier!
CHIEF RESEARCHER: But you're too good of a cosplayer.
SOLDIER FOUR(COURIER): Patrolling the Mojave ma- is cut mid-sentence, someone slaps him
SOLDIER FIVE(SURVIVOR? WHAT?): Um, I actually am from Boston...
CHIEF RESEARCHER: OK, guys, did you get it out of your system? Because I have a lifetime opportunity. You'll be famous! You'll be the attack wing of the best football team eve-
VAULT DWELLER: You can't bribe us, fool! You shall suffer the ultimate fate, your death by the flash of a blade!
CHIEF RESEARCHER: sighs as I was saying, the best football team ever, while Iron Maiden is playing behind you...
VAULT DWELLER: Huh. I like Iron Maiden.
CHOSEN ONE: Everyone likes Iron Maiden.
LONE WANDERER: raises hand I don't like them. Too metal.
SURVIVOR: That's the bloody point, you idiot!
LONE WANDERER: But I like J-Pop or some K-Pop!
COURIER: I like Lucina!
VAULT DWELLER: This is why we can't have nice things. And what the hell is Lucina?
COURIER: Oh, I can talk all day about Lucina, she's a character in Fir-
CHIEF RESEARCHER: Could you please shut up! If you don't, I'll drug you to become obedient and peaceful, like potatoes in Belarus or sentient couches in Anatolia! Now, look. I am feeling generous. We drugged you only once, and you lived. I am offering you a new future. Where the most exciting thing isn't Fallout 10 or FallCon, but football. You'll be rich. You'll have Pipboy 5000. You will have it all. There won't be anything you'll ever miss. Or I could drug you and the next 5 years will be a nightmarish dream with no ending in sight. It's your choice.
VAULT DWELLER: Well, there's the Imperiatrix, but I don't think she'll mind. What's the worst that could happen?
CHOSEN ONE: Oh well, as they say, when in New Reno...
LONE WANDERER: Riches and feeeeemales? Sign me up!
SURVIVOR: Whole jig sounds really cool. Exciting new future without FallCon? All for it.
COURIER: So long as I don't meet any Sabers in steel bikini.
CHIEF RESEARCHER: claps I applaud your common sense. You'll have a great future in front of you, trust me...


All in all, one thing remained. They had defensive; the metal riffs of Iron Maiden were so good, that the opponent's attack easily broke down; while the unfortunate characters had to be the attackers, but that wasn't too hard as they were going to be...enhanced with drugs each match. Paying bribes to Space Qatar did wonders. One last thing remained. Trainer.

And everyone in the labs knew who he had to be. Unfortunately, he was dead. But that never stopped them and Chief Researcher. Cloning. Cloning Johnny Cash. That's what they must do. It took them 18 tries, but they managed to do it. Replicate him in his best form, before he got too old and bitter. Now, all that was left was to make him into Johnny Cash, The Person. Abridged version, as offensive as that might sound.

As FIFA looms closer, so did the trainer get better and better being Johnny Cash and a football trainer. Today, the football team of Highwaymen has won several cups, and it is mighty successful...
 
The Mystery Country will be sending the Soos Doods to FIFA. Due to budget cuts, this team consists only of Soos. Hopefully he does well.
 
I've update the orders format once again as I forgot to add STA spending to it. You can find it here. Again, if you already sent oriders you don't have to resend them.

Nova Terran media reveals country completely insane
By Jack A. Roue, Queensland Bogan Press, Monday, 28 September 3009


To get to the gold, you have to dig through mountains of coal. Under Lysenkoism, Soviet scientific journals routinely prefaced themselves with "The theories we're discussing are self-evidently false, but for the sake of argument let's pretend they're true." So it is that while I'm about to quote Jay Ward's most infamous project to corrupt American youth with furversion and the homosexual lifestyle, Cap'n Crunch Rocky and Bullwinkle, I shall demonstrate relevance.

One episode of Aesop and Son takes a novel twist on the fable about the dog and his reflection. In this story, rather than losing his bone to his reflection in the river, the dog fights his shadow and ends up beaten to a pulp, while the shadow makes off with the real bone.

The moral is clear: Pick fights with everyone, and you'll start beating up yourself.

Dictatorial regimes tend to have a love-hate relationship with the press. Ever grasping for public opinion to see only the tyrant's "good" side, anything less than slavish state media is suppressed, discredited, and in some cases shut down by force. Independent journalism in a police state is either incredibly brave or suicidally foolish.

Nova Terra has taken the media war one step further with its blusterous attack against an ABC article accusing Imperatrix Marshall of plagiarizing segments of a speech by Prime Minister Abbott. Party spokespeople contesting unflattering reports in foreign media is nothing new, but the scale of New Port's response boggles the mind. Within days of its publication, the article triggered Marshall to hold a full-blown press conference, strings of denouncements by pretty much any state official that found their way to a camera, riots outside the Australian embassy, hilariously political polemics by medical officials, and "I'm not saying, but" calls to pursue a bona fide cold war.

It was, in short, the most overblown, farcical, knee-jerk reaction to a non-issue in recent memory.

Already Nova Terra's newly-designated capital New Port (what's with these guys and "new"?) plans to ban Australian media from broadcasting to America, and treat foreign journalists as though they're convicted killers. Beyond the fact this short-sighted move is certain to trigger a tsunami of long and costly court cases over breach of standing contracts, it only helps to confirm that Marshall erred and now refuses to take responsibility.

Indeed, if this reaction were any more juvenile, Ms. Marshall would be straddled over her father's lap and caned for a good five minutes.

Sadly, this paranoia has also diffused into the general populace. The national commercial airline recently suspended its service to the South Pacific, with CEO Rubis Cass claiming "it would be difficult to conduct business with Abbottsford. It's granted that there would be higher costs ..." Such a claim is nonsense since National Airlines will assuredly lose money by cutting service to an entire subcontinent, while its competitors will move to snap up the scraps.

But this counterproductive business strategy isn't about business. Like the political reaction, it's about the national image. This whole fiasco reveals just how fragile the supposed American hegemon really is: if this is how Nova Terra reacts to bad press, how badly will a real threat paralyze the country?

When will Marshall stop picking fights with her own shadow?
 
Abbottsfordan War Material Found to be Copies
NEW PORT CITY—Taking the lead in investigation the recovered Abbottsfordian war materials recovered from the Drug War, Major Kusanagi has determined to get to the bottom of Abbottford's involvement with SADS.

The feat wasn't easy for Kusanagi to traverse through. The evidence extracted, looked exactly like war materiale found in Abbottsfordian's military. But to further go deeper, Kusanagi knows that she has to match up the part numbers. That would involve heavy negotiation with Nova Terran bureaucracy. With heightened tensions between Nova Terra and Abbottsford, Kusanagi had to make her case to Connie Marshall to allow a military official from Abbottsford to examine the extracted evidence from the Drug War.

Imperitrix Marshall relented and allowed Abbottfordian's Minister of Defense; Tarkin, to come to the Department of Homeland Security to personally take a look at the evidence for himself and to take a closer look at the part numbers on the extracted evidence.

The investigation continued for a month as Nova Terran Army Generals, Tarkin, and Major Kusanagi shifted through the evidence and crossed checked part numbers against Abbottfordian's inventory database and came to conclude that they were copies of Abbottsfordian military hardware. Confirming Kusanagi's beliefs that Abbott has been framed by a third party during the Drug-Cybermen War.

Once the results have been determined, Imperitrix Marshall and Tym Nightshade was summoned to the Department of Homeland Security to be given the news about Kusanagi's discovery.

Connie Marshall Delivers Apology to Abbott, Opens Path to Rapprochement
NEW PORT CITY—After the reports from Homeland Security came to the Imperitrix's attention. She quickly spent time in her office drafting up a speech to publicly apologize to Abbottsford for the SADS Question. She immediately held a special speech straight from the press room.

"Sons and Daughters of Nova Terra, and to Abbotees and Abbottesses,

It is by no matter that we've quickly jumped the gun and pointed our blame to Abbott on aiding SADS. But in recent weeks, with collaboration with an Abbottian General, we've determined that the materials that were found amongst the battlefields during the Drug War were stolen and copied war assets that belonged to Abbott.

I admit, I was very hesitant at first on letting Major Kusanagi allow an Abbottsford offical into the halls of the government of Nova Terra. But she delivered a convincing argument that would be the key to settling the SADS Question, once and for all. Both she and the Abbottsfordian General studdied the war material closely for days and came to that conclusion. The Inquisition was dually noted about the new found information that was brought to our attention.

The SADS Question has caused a rip between Abbottsford and Nova Terra. While we helped Abbottsford in repelling Empress Shi and the pirates off their land, they recipricated in secret by secretly aiding us in our war against the Cybermen and SADS. It's been determined that someone, using stolen & copied Abbottsfordian war materials, attempted to frame Abbott and create a rift between our two nations. Someone who seeks to weaken the Pacific Coalition and create instability in the pacific.

Major Kusanagi has advise me to exonerate Abbott. I, as Imperitrax of Nova Terra and belalf of our sons and daughters, issue a public apololgy to Abbott.

As part of our rapproachment process, I cordially invite Abbott to the Toronto Transfer Celebration. Held at the Ambassador Bridge that spans between Detroit and Windor, Ontario. I have personally made arrangements for National Airlines to charter a flight between Abbottsford and Nova Terra."

The citizens were moved by the speech, protesters stopped protesting at Abbottsfordian Embassy, and extinguished Abbott Effigies. The Inquisition and the Nationalist Defense Corps, loosened up restrictions on media originating from Abbottsford and not treating them like enemies of the state.

National Airlines Restore Flights to Abbottsford
NEW PORT CITY INTERNATIONAL AIR & SPACE PORT—Given the recent announcement of rapprochement. CEO Rubis Cass of National Airlines have decided to reopen routes between Nova Terra and Abbottsford.

CEO Cass has publicly apologized for the inconvenience caused during the route's closure during the tense period between Abbottsford and Nova Terra. "In hindsight, it was a bad business move to jump the gun on closing our routes in protest." CEO Cass has stated that he'd be setting aside more aircraft to frequently fly to Abbottsford.

"Sometimes cynicism is the last refuge of the idealist"

That's been the maxim for Nova Terran's affairs for years. To which were always on guard, watching and being on the defense against anyone who would seek to break our nation. In the past few months, it's been a test on the strength of our virtue; Honor. While we have send in our troops in aid with the Philippine and the Pirate War, you've done the same for us in secret with the fight against SADS. Admittedly, I tend to see the worst in people and assume the worst, based on my own personal experience in the past. When we've heard that you're "going to deal with Nova Terra's treachery in due course", we only reacted instinctively as though were next in the series of conquest by another power.

Given that a recent project lead by our Secretary of Homeland Security and your own Minister of Defense. Were able to finally settle the SADS Question once and for all. It's been determined that the salvaged war materials found in the battlefields during the Drug War to be copies that a third party has been using to frame Abbottsford. Given this new found discovery, it is by recommendation by Major Kusanagi that I, exonerate Abbott of the SADS Question.

In extension to the exoneration, I personally on behalf of myself and the Nova Terran government an apology to Abbotsford, for accusing them of aiding our belligerents; SADS.

The entirety of this rivalry is getting tiresome and threatens to drive a wedge that would threaten to dissolve the Pacific Coalition. It would not bode well for ether of us if this fight continues. I, Connie Marshall, am willing to extend to Abbott an offer of rapprochement and normalization of relations between our two great nations. I have personally, enclosed in a separate envelope, an invitation to attend the Toronto Transfer Celebration being held in Detroit. I feel that this is a first important step in the rapprochement process.

Abbottsford: Gone from tense to normal to represent a progress of Rapproachment between Abbottsford and Nova Terra

Caucus Kingdom: Newly added. Since he's a new kid on the block, would start off with normal relations. Though there is a bit of a watch due to the Soviet Greek War. Due to a lack of a flag or symbol, the leader's portrit has been chosen to use as the representative of the Caucus Kingdom.

SUBJECT: RE: Rapprochement Time

The most beneficent and righteous Guardian of the Australian Ideal, His Excellency the Lord Tony Abbott, in his infinite generosity, has deigned to accept your invitation to Toronto, and looks forward to further grovelling cooperation in the form of a piggyback joint space exploration program between Oceania and North America.

"We can't hold off the immigrants any longer!"
Meanwhile, in the EU... :mischief:
 
After universal agreement by high command, the USV will not be attending the FIFA tournament, since literally none out of all soldiers care about soccer. We're too busy playing real sports like shooting and napalm striking.

However, President Juri has insisted that she would be able to raise her own team of Koreans to play in the FIFA tournament. The reasoning would be that as a nation focused on kicking things, they would be able to kick soccer balls better than any other nation. High command could not really refute this argument, and decided to abide. The team is to be called the Forgotten Hermits, and features Juri herself as the lead striker in a highly unorthdox 9-0-1 formation.

However, tragically, exactly half the team died from playing starcraft for 3 days straight without eating. When the team was about to disband, USV noticed protests about Japan wanting to field their own team. Deciding putting down the protests was too much work, high command instead told Juri that there was going to be a combined Korea-Japan team, to literally everyone's confusion and anger in both countries. The team gained an impressive sumo wrestler known as E. Honda to serve as the goalkeeper.

FEAR is also sending a team, called the Reapers, but lol who cares about them. They don't inspire any fear.
